ARE YOU READY OR NOT?
Here Comes Jesus, Ready Or Not!!
HERE COMES JESUS – READY OR NOT!
I did a study on the word “READY” and found it troublesome because it appears to NOT BE what most Christians think it means. “Prayed up, packed up and ready to go”, is what most folks would say it means. But that is NOT what is means according to the word studies, for it means ADJUSTED:
Matthew 24:43-45
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man c
ometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
READY:
G2092
ἑτοιμος – hetoimos - het-oy'-mos
From an old noun ἕτεος
heteos (fitness); adjusted, that is, ready: - prepared, (made) ready (-iness, to our hand).
Matthew 25:9-11 (9-11 DISASTER)
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
The same word is used for READY – ADJUSTED.
So then we looked at the word ADJUSTED:

Humanity is dead to God and needs to be ADJUSTED OVER TO LIFE, which is DIVINE AGAPE GIVEN AT REBIRTH. The rejection of these simple truths is what sends man to eternal ruin. The simple basics have been denied.
John 3:2-4
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
In Genesis we are told that mankind fell because of the knowledge of good and evil and the removal of Divine Agape Love. When God said that in the day you eat thereof you shall surely die means SPIRITUAL DEATH, and that means CUT OFF FROM. Inasmuch as God is a SPIRIT, and that SPIRIT IS DIVINE LOVE, then mankind LOST THAT AT THE FALL and does not KNOW and cannot even COMPREHEND what type of LOVE this is for it has been totally removed, cut off.
The issue between man and God that MUST BE, has to be settled is this LOVE TYPE ISSUE. When Jesus refers to THE LIGHT He is referring to DIVINE LOVE. Thus when He says COME TO THE LIGHT to have your DEEDS REPROVED, He is telling us that we need to come to HIM, for He is DIVINE LOVE (LIGHT) to be judged.
So what is being BORN FROM ABOVE or AGAIN? In short, it means that Jesus BESTOWS HIS LOVE UPON THE ONE WHO COMES TO HIM and that makes he/she covered by the robes of Christ, and that means they have been ADJUSTED so they can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven:
John 3:5-8
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
To be BORN AGAIN means to ADJUSTED or MADE READY to enter the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. Jesus says it is an IMPERATIVE this be done. In other words, OUR FALLEN NATURES and our DEAD SPIRIT TO GOD, needs to be ADJUSTED back to LIFE, and only Jesus HAS THAT LIFE. It becomes clear that NO ONE can enter heaven unless they are BORN FROM ABOVE and that means having DIVINE AGAPE LOVE bestowed upon the true believer just as John tells us.
1 John 3:1-3
King James Version
3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
If you are a SON OF GOD, then you have been ADJUSTED, that is, brought into ALIGNMENT via the bestowment of Divine Love (the LIGHT) also referred to as LIVING WATER. It all fits together perfectly, although totally denied by today’s false preachers, teachers and evangelists, who are telling everyone they are born again when they ARE NOT. How do we know?
Jesus, Peter and John all tell us what happened, but these poor disobedient Christians are totally unaware of their true position before the Lord until He rejects them as found in Matthew 7:21-23:
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Notice that these poor LOST CHRISTIANS were performing miracle works, casting out demons, teaching, giving prophecies (some true, some not), and so on, but Jesus rejects all of them on one basis and one basis only. They had not come Him (the LIGHT) TO HAVE THEIR DEEDS REPROVED and to become ADJUSTED or CONFORMED to THE LIGHT via REBIRTH.
It is obvious what has happened. The liars of Christianity, the preachers, teachers, evangelists and prophetic folks out there had taught the CONVERSION was REGENERATION and it is a horrific LIE, because CONVERSION is a STRAIT GATE and NARROW WAY from TRUE REGENERATION/QUICKENING/BORN AGAIN IN DIVINE AGAPE.
Beware!

Thanks for posting this again Stuart...HE knows one because they pursued him and submitted to his changing them to the frequency of HIS light...straight gate, narrow way is simple,but not at all easy...one must really want it...I cringed when I read a YouTube post the other day...this "Christian" actually stated that "belief alone is all that is needed for salvation. No relationship with Yashua is necessary, this is not a dating game" Yes, they actually posted this....sigh..much LOVE and God bless...you, Patti, Darnette and Larry are always in my prayers!
